Hard ones, soft ones, shaggy ones, holy ones. Bears of all shapes, sizes and colours descended upon Lollipops Kumeu today for the much anticipated Teddy Bears' Picnic.

Each child brought their favourite bear into the centre for an action-packed day of fun. Who knew bears loved bike riding, writing and story time so much? Best of all though was the grand picnic - a magnificent feast enjoyed by all.

"The children spent yesterday preparing treats, baking and creating for their special picnic. They've been so excited about it. It has been such a fun filled day," said Centre Manager Steph Godfrey.

Lollipops Auckland Central was awash with colour as staff, children and families celebrated Diwali, the much-loved festival of lights.
